KUNZMAN, NEW ALBANY, INDIANA 
We regret to report that due to a persistently rainy 
Spring, many of our varieties were drowned in the field 
and therefore are missing from our catalog this year. 
Most of these will never be replaced, being old favorites 
that are not generally listed and so cannot be re-bought. 
All varieties were affected somewhat by the deluge, 
and consequently stock is very limited this season. 
However, as long as the supply lasts, our Special Offers 
will be fulfilled as out-lined. Don’t expect the supply 
to last all season—Order Now! 
Do Not Win Prizes 
Would you take a pet animal, which had every at¬ 
tention and comfort to make it dependent on the best of 
care and put it under the same conditions as those 
which had fared for themselves—and expect that petted 
animal to thrive ? 
So might you just as well expect roots of Dahlias, 
which have been highly fertilized and coddled to pro¬ 
duce Exhibition blooms, to thrive and do well under 
ordinary, everyday conditions such as the average grow¬ 
er employs. As the petting conditions weaken the ani¬ 
mal, so do the coddling conditions weaken the roots. 
We want to send out only strong, rugged roots (not 
large—petting makes large, watery roots), which will 
grow well, bloom promiscuously in any and all ordinary 
conditions, and give you immense blooms for Exhibition, 
if you care to exhibit. 
Remember,exhibition culture takes it’s toll of the 
stamina and ruggedness of your dahlia; that is why we 
do not exhibit, hence the reason we do not win Honor 
Rolls, Etc. But, we can refer you to hundreds of our 
customers who have won prizes above all others. 
Do you want weak roots—or, strong roots? We be¬ 
lieve we are the only large growers anywhere, who do 
not exhibit. If you’ve never tried our roots, it’s up to 
you. If you have, you know' what they are.

Come to see us in the Fall, at our new location on 
Indiana State Highway 111, just 1 mile north of New 
Albany. See 25 acres of dahlias in one field; usually 
in bloom by September 15th.
